Plastic. Be prepared to have low low flow to get any performance out of this one.

As I remember, it was plastic...not what was needed for us...might be ok if your boat is small.

I have one and love it. Not sure what is under the seat back, but I assume it is plastic, like the base. I have had it in Baja, and all along the West Coast on my boat and it has been flawless.

plastic but still a fairly sturdy chassis. The shell will be the least of your problems though.

thanks for your inquiry, i think it is metal, the same as your original caseregards

It is metal inside too....not plastic. Mine is discolored a bit because of hard well water.

Not metal but not exactly plastic. More like a fiberglass material, fairly hard, obviously only safe for potable water not to be used for storing chemicals or fuel.

It appears to be solid aluminum with a silver powdercoat.I cut the mounting plate with ease to modify it for a sounder.It's going on the sailboat this spring.

It is all metal, there is no plastic on the unit at all. So far it has worked great. Remember to keep the oil level full; this is not hard to do.

Plastic, there are metal pipes/rods, but they don't detract at all from design. The plastic feels high quality, and the door has held up well under heavy use.

the inside and outside is plastic. The part that screws onto pipe is medal. I was a fan at first but it makes a loud noise when you shut the water off. I'd be more than happy to send you the one I have as I discontinued using it and too lazy to send it back to amazon.

It is pretty heavy, I do not think it is plastic. I checked it before the installation, I saw metal inside (copper or brass).

The housing is metal. It works fine for my swimming pool filter but I am not sure how it would work for a deep well.

Plastic with a chrome finish. It's a very nicely engineered and finished piece.

The mount is metal, and the internals appear to be metal too. The external casing is plastic. The filter ring is plastic. The overall feel is very solid.

Metal. The foam I don't think would hold the powerful motor securely enough to not twist and bind. The motor needs to be mounted fairly square to the old handle shaft.

The exterior is plastic. However, the inside is metal and I've had no issues with the plastic melting.

it is plastic, but the base frame and the lift mechanism is metal. The inside trim is also plastic.
